KET 1
Đây là một bài trắc nghiệm, chọn từ đúng để điền vào chỗ trống của một bài văn ngắn
về going to a new school.Để chọn đúng từ thì người học cần đọc kĩ từng câu xem từ
cần chọn có phù hợp về nghĩa và đúng ngữ pháp không. Ví dụ như câu 6, đáp án là
A. unhappy, các từ còn lại không đúng về nghĩa; câu 7: C. took là đáp án đúng vì theo
cấu trúc take somebody to…; câu 8: C. hair là đáp án vì liên quan đến từ blonde (màu
hoe) thì chỉ có mái tóc mới có màu này.

PART 3: Complete the five conversations. For Q11-15, mark A, B or C
11. Would you like anything else?

A. That’s all, thank you.
B. Yes, I like everything.

chủ quán hỏi xem bạn muốn mua gì nữa không, vậy câu trả lời đúng là A.That’s all,
thank you; câu 12: đáp án B. soon vì câu hỏi có từ will là tương lai; còn câu 13 là câu
đề nghị chứ không phải hỏi về khả năng của bạn nên câu trả lời đúng là C. Here you
are.

PART 5: Read the article about bicycles.
Choose the best word (A, B or C) for each space.

B. any

C. a

29. A. was

B. is

C. were

30. A. must

B. could

C. may

…
Bài đọc hiểu này yêu cầu người học chọn từ đúng về ngữ pháp và phù hợp về nghĩa để

điền vào chỗ trống. Câu 28: đáp án là C. a vì danh từ đi sau là way (danh từ đếm được
số ít); câu 29: đáp án là A. was vì chủ ngữ số ít (câu bị động ở thì quá khứ); còn câu 30
thì chỉ có một đáp án duy nhất ở thì quá khứ và đúng về nghĩa là B.could.

PART 6: Read the descriptions of some parts of the body..
What is the word for each description?
36. This grows on your head.

H___

37. You have got two of these with five toes on each one.

F___

38. You open and close this when you talk.

M____

…
Bài này kiểm tra về kiến thức từ vựng, yêu cầu người học phải viết đúng chính tả. Khi
làm bài cần đọc kĩ định nghĩa của từ, xem là danh từ số ít hay số nhiều. Ví dụ câu 36:
từ đúng là Hair, nhưng câu 37 phải là danh từ số nhiều vì câu hỏi có từ these, vậy từ
đúng là Feet; và câu 38 là Mouth.

Để điền đúng các từ còn thiếu trong bức thư trên thì người học cần đọc lướt nhanh cả
bài một lần và có thể điền được ngay một số từ đơn giản. Sau đó đọc lại từng câu xem
những từ có liên quan đến từ cần điền hoặc đôi khi đọc cả đoạn văn mới tìm được từ
đúng. Câu 46: từ cần điền là much vì theo cấu trúc like … very much;câu 48 phải là
động từ To BE ở thì quá khứ (was) vì đi sau nó là tính từ sunny; câu 50 thì of là đáp án
vì có từsome đứng trước. Một số chỗ trống có thể điền được một số từ đúng, miễn là từ
đó đúng ngữ pháp và phù hợp về nghĩa như câu 47: went / traveled và câu 49: going /
planning.
